Answer:

18

Explanation:

By knowing that 1/3 is the probability of being in the class, you can find that 12 girls and 6 boys would sound perfect to the question. Mathematically you would solve it by 12/0.33333 and it equals 18 of total number of students. If you need more help text me on insta it's jason_lee093
